For every good jumpsuit that Wesley sold, Wesley earned $23. He sold defective jumpsuits at a discount, which would cause him to lose $3 per defective jumpsuit. In October, for every 30 jumpsuits sold, 8 were defective. Wesley earned $4820 from the jumpsuits sold.

1. How many less jumpsuits sold were defective than good?
2. How much less money did he earn because of the defective jumpsuits?

	Good	Defective	Total
Number	22 u	8 u
Value	+ 23	- 3
Total Value	506 u	- 24 u	$4820

(a)
Amount that Wesley earned 
= 506 u - 24 u
= 482 u

482 u = 4820

1 u = 4820 ÷ 482 = 10

Number of less jumpsuits sold that were defective than good
= 22 u - 8 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 10
= 140

(b)
Number of defective jumpsuits
= 8 u
= 8 x 10
= 80

Less amount earned for one defective jacket
= 23 + 3
= $26

Less amount earned because of all the defective jumpsuits
= 80 x 26
= $2080

Answer(s): (a) 140; (b) $2080
